is your 8v and SPI or MPI?

if MPI dont bother with the change... the 8v MPI isnt that far off the 16v at all...
If its an SPI, bit it and got for the 16v... the c/x16xe if at all possible to be honest

you could taper porting the standard throttle body then line up the inlet manifold to the taper ported throttle body or even put a bigger throttle body and still line up the inlet manifold to the bigger throttle,
port match the inlet and exhaust manifolds to the gaskets

For the cost of the X14XE it is far more viable to swap engines than it is to tune an antiquated old relic of a lump.

this is what you do to a 8 valve plus loads more
you could taper porting the standard throttle body then line up the inlet manifold to the taper ported throttle body or even put a bigger throttle body and still line up the inlet manifold to the bigger throttle,
port match the inlet and exhaust manifolds to the gaskets,

burt Munro time

weld the inlet and exhaust manifolds together=BHP

If you don't want the hassle of changing engines put some twin 40's on it, nice induction noise and you will gain some bhp's too.
